Behind the conversation

## It responds.

What do you

read into it?

This is a small demonstration inspired by ELIZA’s pattern matching, not the original program or a modern AI model.

It recognises a handful of phrases, switches some pronouns and returns a question. Everything else gets a fallback response.

The last rule used

Waiting for your first message.

Use an ordinary example sentence. This exercise is not a counselling service.
